Think that Maur deal is going to come back to bite you all. I know the Redsox are interested.

Wish the Cardinals could get some SS help.

Once Morneau comes off the books, Mauer deal won't be that bad, add to the fact that for what he did last year he was actually paid about what he was worth, maybe just a tiny bit more. However, unless he hits 20+ HR's everyone will continue to say it is a very bad deal.

I was talking in terms of staying healthy, and being on the field. Playing catcher is super tough on the knees. I think in a couple years you will have to move him to first. His defense makes it so that his contract is valid now, but that won't last much longer imo.

And because UB complained about twins.

He played in 147 games last year (or something right around that)which is the most in his career and split between catcher, first, and DH. They are already beginning to limit his games catching.

Note there was no free agency or future picks traded. Thoughts?_________________From the fool’s gold mouthpiece the hollow horn,

It's been a long week. I'm ready to get off work so I can go home and get some sleep. Going out to dinner tonight at some Italian place the wife wants to try. I love living in Atlanta. Such an underrated city!

I've never lived in the south. What do you like about Atlanta that makes it a great place to live?
